Caregivers provide necessary support to someone, anyone who, due to age, illness, disability, or some other factor, cannot care for themselves. Caregiving may involve shopping, housekeeping, providing transportation, feeding, bathing, toilet assistance, dressing, walking, coordinating appointments and medical treatments, or managing a person’s finances. Caregivers can be spouses, partners, adult children, parents, other relatives (siblings, aunts, nieces/nephews, in-laws, grandchildren), friends, or neighbors. Whatever your relationship with the person you’re caring for, you must add the title caregiver to the list of things you are. Without identifying yourself as a caregiver, you won’t know how to search for resources to help you navigate this new role.
